Courage. (Klaine boyxboy)

Chapter Eleven

Kurt's Point of View.

When I got to school on Monday I knew it was inevitable, but I couldn’t help but worry about it. Today was the day Blaine would be coming to McKinley to talk to Karofsky. He was doing it for me and all I can think about is that if he gets hurt because of it I am never going to be able to get rid of the guilt I will feel afterwards, never be able to forgive myself. Luckily I had Mercedes to keep me sane the whole morning. Or so I thought…

“I’m not used to being stood up Hummel, next time if you make plans with this boy when we are supposed to be doing something I expect you to at least tell me about it first. Okay!” She slipped her arm through mine as we walked down the hallway together. “Whilst on the subject though, I want all details of what happened and what you did, including the gory ones!” Well I knew it was coming at some point, I was just hoping Blaine would help me explain at lunch time. Apparently I don’t get that luxury.

“To be honest ‘cedes there is nothing to tell…Blaine was lying about us doing stuff together. What we were really doing was just talking and singing and-“

“Not about our set list for sectionals I hope!” Mercedes cut in.

“No nothing about glee club was spoken, most of the time we were singing Florence + the machine songs”

“THE Florence + the machine? Kurt they are one of your favourite bands which means you have something in common!” Mercedes was practically squealing by now.

“Mercedes come on we are just friends the most we did together was hold hands.” That was a lie, we almost kissed but I wasn’t going to admit to that in a crowded hallway where any number of ears could be listening in.

“Holding hands? Really? You think ‘just friends’ do that? Even we don’t do that and we are as close as two friends can get!” Mercedes looked down at our linked arms then gave me that kind of look, you know when the person just wants you to understand how stupid something you just said was.

“Look, Blaine held my hand the first day we met, he is a very tangible person and we both admitted to liking it so we continued to do it. That’s all.” I tried to explain; this wasn’t going to help the fact that later on I would have to tell her about the almost kiss. She was still giving me ‘the look’ and it was starting to make me feel uncomfortable and strange. “Look if you don’t believe me, ask him yourself, Blaine is coming to McKinley at lunch to…sort some stuff out…”

(As much as I love Mercedes she doesn’t know the full extent of the bullying problem and I’m not about to tell her so she goes all diva on Karofsky and the guys and gets herself involved too. I was protecting her.)

Mercedes expression completely changed then. Her mouth open wide in shock “What?! Kurt I hope ‘sort some stuff out’ isn’t some secret code word for something dirty!” She was now smiling at me and now I was the one giving her the look. “Fine I believe you! Will I get to see this mystery man in person then?”

“’Cedes you’ve already seen a picture of him”

“Yeah but this is different he may look like ten times cuter in the flesh and although I know I can’t touch but it doesn’t hurt to look” Mercedes winked at me. “Oh come on! I’m just keeping an eye out for you I don’t want you rushing into things too fast”

“Don’t worry, I won’t” I said, although I needed to think about this statement later on. Maybe I was getting too involved too fast, still I wouldn’t know seeing as this is the first time I have been able to get close to a boy in this way and to be honest we didn’t really think about what we did together we just were and that’s how we liked it.
